This document discusses how telecom service providers can adopt cloud native technologies to revolutionize their services. It provides examples of how dynamic VPNs, modernized business services, remote operating rooms, and intelligent edge services could be implemented. While over-the-top players have used cloud native tools successfully, there are gaps for service providers due to their environment integrating connectivity and optimization across domains. The document proposes that service providers can bridge this gap through strong orchestration, inter-provider interfaces, and enhancing platforms to be carrier-grade and distributed to the network edge. Adopting an "augmented cloud native" approach combining these techniques is presented as a recipe to revolutionize telecom services.

 Used to great advantage by OTTs
for agile services and streamlined
operations and infrastructure
 Can service providers copy?
YES and NO

10. ECI Proprietary 10
WHY YES?
 For pure applications
development, SPs can use
many cloud native tools
 Microservices
 Containers
 Off-the-shelf PaaS SW for a
data center environment
 Creates DevOps benefits

11. ECI Proprietary 11
WHY NO
Because the SP environment is fundamentally different
 Services combining connectivity and virtualization
 Multilayer optimization
 Services with end-points in different SP domains
 Highly distributed network with intelligence to network edge
 Carrier-grade availability (99.999% for many services)
